AUTUMN 1890 CATALOGUE
Of Bulbs and Flower Roots
TO PLANT NOW
For Winter Blooming in the House and Spring Blooming in the Garden.
Send your orders early and receive our best attention; it is advisable to plant bulbs as soov
as possible after the first of October, but they can be planted as late as the ground is open, but
the early planting will give the best bloom. A// bulbs delivered free at each and dozen
prices except where noted.
Chinese Sacred ily, or Joss Flower.
This is a Beautiful and Interesting Variety of Narcissus.
It is grown by the Chinese, ac-
cording to the ancient custom, to
bloom at the advent of their new
year. It is highly prized, and is
called by them “Joss Flower, or
Flower of the Gods.” The bulbs
are specially grown by a method
known only to themselves, whereby
they attain great size and strength,
insuring luxuriant growth, and a
remarkable profusion of blooming
in a very short period. They are
cultivated in shallow glass dishes
or in ornamental bowls containing
water, with small bright-colored
stones, or pieces of marble placed
around them to prevent them from
toppling over whenin bloom. The
flowers are borne in clusters on tall
spikes, are white with golden yellow
centres, and are delicately fragrant.
The bulbs will bloom from s#x to
eight weeks after planting, and with
a few bulbs started at intervals of
about three or four weeks, a suc-
cession of flowers may be had
throughout the winter. They
should be placed in a dark, cool
cellar or closet after planting until
rooted, which would be in about ten days. Then remove to a warm, sunny window. The
water should be changed two or three times a week. Our supply of bulbs are imported by us
direct from China, and are of first quality. Many people are deceived in Chinese Lilies by
buying second quality bulbs, which, from appearance, cannot be detected from first quality.
Price, 20 cents each, $2.00 per dozen; by mail, 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen.
We carry in stock Chinese Fancy Pots to grow the Sacred Lily.

Culture and Treatment of the Hyacinth.
Among Dutch bulbs, the Hyacinth
takes first place; its beauty, fragrance,
and easy cultivation making it a general
favorite in the garden, as well as in the
house, for winter flowering. Nothing can
be more delightful than to grow these
lovely flowers in the parlor, and to watch
day by day their attaining to perfection,
when the flowers without have disap-
peared, and everything looks bleak and
dead in the garden. The Hyacinth grows
freely in almost any medium which
retains moisture, and will produce fine
flowers when grown in pots or water.
They may be planted for a succession of
winter bloom from the middle of Septem-
ber till January.
CULTURE IN WATER.
Single Hyacinths are more generally
used for growing in ‘glasses, as they -
produce finer spikes of bloom than the
double. The bulbs should be planted as
early in the season as possible; keeping
them in a cool dark cellar, or in a similar
situation, until the roots have reached the bottom of the glass, which requires about eight weeks’
time, after which remove to a light, sunny window. The water in the glass should be changed
two or three times a week. In severe weather, the bulb must be removed from the window.
After filling the glass with water, place the bulb so that the base
only will touch the water.
CULTURE OF HYACINTHS
IN POTS.
This is by far the most successful way of cultivating Hyacinths
for winter blooming. Use a five or a six inch pot, fill rather
loosely to the brim, and press the bulb down so that the top only
appears above the soil, then water freely to settle the earth around
the bulb, and place in a cool, dark cellar, or in a similar place, to
encourage a strong development of the roots before the bud starts
to grow at the top. Such a situation can be made by covering
the pot with about four inches of sand, and place where it is cool.
Care’ must be taken to prevent them from freezing, or from
extreme heat, as the development of the roots can be only had at
a low temperature — from 40 to 50 degrees. It is useless to try
to force them into bloom until they have made sufficient root, and
the spike is three to four inches high. This will take about six
or eight weeks from the time of planting; then remove to a light
sunny window, and water freely. The flowers will last much
longer if kept in a cool situation after they commence to bloom. POT OF HYACINTHS.

Hyacinths. — Continued.
CULTURE IN THE GARDEN.
For out-door planting, Hyacinths should be planted from first of October until the ground
freezes. Any garden soil will grow Hyacinths well, but it must be drained so that water will not
lay on the surface for any length of time, or the bulbs will be likely to rot. Place the bulbs
about five inches deep, and from six to eight inches apart. After frost sets in, cover the beds
with from four to six inches of leaves or manure, placing brush or boards over the top to prevent
the wind from blowing them off. In the spring raking off the covering, take off about half at
first, and then wait a week before taking off the remainder. Nothing more is required except to
destroy the weeds.

EARLY WHITE ROMAN;
Or, CHRISTMAS HYACINTHS.
This is a miniature variety of the Hyacinth, which is
extensively used by florists, as they are the earliest for
forcing. The flowers, which are smaller than the ordi-
nary Hyacinth, are produced in great profusion, each
bulb throwing up two or three spikes of deliciously
fragrant, pure white flowers. By successive planting
may be had in bloom from October to Christmas.
They show to better advantage if four or six bulbs
are planted in a pot.

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS.
Tulips are perfectly hardy, and of easy culture,
either within doors or in the open air. While
they will thrive in almost any soil, that best
loam, fertilized with well-rotted cow manure.
They may be planted any time from early in
7 September till December, if the weather is fa-
/ vorable. The two classes of tulips, early and
late, are subdivided into the Single and Double
Tulips. All the single, and the early double
varieties are recommended for forcing. The
Duc van Tholl varieties. are the favorites. for
house culture, as they bloom early, have very
bright colors, and will do well in sand, moss, or
water.

CROW YOUR OWN EASTER LILIES.
The True Bermuda Easter hily.
(Lilium MHarrisii.)
Lilies are generally thought to be difficult
to grow in the house asa pot plant. But
the L. Harrisii is quite the reverse, being
of easy culture, and blooming at a time
when flowers are scarce and in great
demand. If anumber of bulbs are planted,
a succession of flowers can be had from |
Christmas until Spring by keeping the
bulbs in a cool place, and removing to a
warm, sunny window to grow and blossom
when wanted. “Large bulbs which will
produce from 5 to 8 large, pure white,
trumpet-shape flowers, fragrant, should be
potted as early as possible, and kept in a
cool place until well rooted, which takes
about 4 to 6 weeks, then they can be
placed in a warm window to grow and
blossom. A 6-inch pot is the proper size
to use for growing the 7 to 9-inch bulb
which is the best for house culture. Place
the bulb near the top of pot, covering it
about an inch. Sandy, rich loam should be
used, and plenty of drainage put in the
bottom of the pots; when about to bloom,
water freely, and give plenty of air. The
bulb can be ripened off by diminishing the
watering, and in a few months can be
started again and produce a second crop
of flowers, frequently equal to the first.
True Bermuda Easter Lily, 5 to 7
inches in circumference, 15 cents each ;
2 for 25 cents; $1.25 per doz.
True Bermuda Easter Lily, 7 to 9
inches in circumference, 25 cents each;
3 for 60 cents; $2.00 per doz.
True Bermuda Easter Lily, 9 to 11 inches in circumference, 35 cents each; 3 for $1.00.
Lilium Longiflorum. Flowers same shape and color as L. Harrisii, and require the same
treatment, but bloom about two weeks later, and do not grow as tall. Strong flowering
bulbs, 15 cents each; two for 25 cents ; $1.25 per dozen.
Lilium Candidum (S¢. Joseph’s Lily). The well-known old garden favorite, perfectly hardy,
blooming in June when planted in the open border, and at Easter-time when grown in the
house. They require the same treatment as the above. The flowers, which are borne on a
straight stalk about three feet high, are of a beautiful, pure, waxy white, and fragrant.
Strong bulbs produce from eight to fifteen flowers. Extra large bulbs, 15 cents each; two
for 25 cents; $1.25 per dozen.
LILIUM HARRISII.
The above three Lilies are extra strong selected bulbs for forcing, and make a charming
collection when grown together. Add 3 cents per bulb and 25 cents per dozen if desired by
mail. One each of the above three, postpaid, 50 cents.

‘ilies.
The beauty and grace of the Lily require no comment.
They should be planted, as a general rule, in autumn. They
thrive well in any good dry garden soil, and should be planted
to a depth of six inches. To prevent them from being thrown
out by the frost, they may be covered with litter or leaves.
July and August is the usual season of blooming.

handsome, tube-shaped, pure white, blotched with yellow, and borne on a slender stem
about twenty inches in height, with narrow foliage. They are peculiarly graceful, and
emit a fine perfume for a long time
after cutting. The bulbs are rather
small and irregular in form, and should
be potted in 4 to 6 inch pots, four or
more bulbs in a pot, from August to
November, in any good soil of a sandy
texture, to get well started for winter
blooming. Their treatment is simple,
and about the same as other small
bulbs. For house culture they are
particularly pleasing plants to grow, and
should receive early attention in their
planting.

SELECT LIST OF THE CHOICEST ROSES FOR FALL PLANTING,
OR FOR WINTER FLOWERING IN THE HOUSE.
ROSES.
No garden, however
small, is complete with-
out Roses. The Rose
stands, as it has for years,
‘**Queen of the Flowers; ”
with a proper selection of
kinds, we can have our
roses from June till heavy
frosts come with withering
touch.
Every year adds a large
number of varieties to our
lists, new at least in name
if not in character; and it
shall be our special en-
deavor, after careful com-
parisons, to point out such
of them as show a decided
improvement in their lead-
ing characteristics over
pre-existing varieties.
The following | brief
hints may be of service
to the inexperienced.
TIME TO PLANT. All the hardy kinds can be pianted out in fall, as soon as the
plants are dormant after the first frost; the soil will be so thoroughly settled about the roots
by the winter rains, that the plant will commence forming new roots early in the spring, and will
rapidly make strong and luxuriant shoots.
The Tea-scented, and others that are pot grown, should not be planted till all danger of
spring frosts is over.
SOIL. The most suitable soil is a strong, rich loam, mixed with about one quarter its
bulk of well-decomposed stable manure. It is necessary that the ground be dug at least a foot
and a half deep.
It may safely be laid down as a rule, that it is impossible to make the soil too rich for the
rose.
During the growing season frequent watering of liquid manure, made either of cow manure
or guano. This stimulant will keep the plants vigorous and healthy, and will amply repay the
attention in size and quality of blossom. In using it avoid as much as possible getting it upon
the foliage, especially when the plants are in bloom. .
SITUATION. The best situation for the rose is an eastern or northern exposure; if
slightly shaded from the intense heat of midday, the bloom will be more perfect and continuous.
PRUNING. The hardy sorts may be pruned in March or April, the tender varieties
should be left till a month later.
Close pruning will produce quality, and long pruning quantity of bloom.
Climbing roses need comparatively little pruning, the tips only of the shoots require to be
taken off, and any weak and unripe shoots cut out altogether.

Strawberry Plants.
THE CULTIVATION OF THE STRAW-
BERRY.
B We consider the following-the best system for cultivating
the strawberry.
Set your plants about one foot apart in the rows, and the
F rows three feet apart (it would take about 15,000 plants
per acre at this distance), and allow them to make runners
to fill up a space of about 12 to 14 inches wide; that would
I be give you a space about 22 inches wide for a path.
Hi It is claimed that one can get 2,000 quarts more fruit off
M the same ground grown in these narrow rows than by al-
lowing them to run all over the ground, and the fruit of
better quality.
) They should have from 15 'to 20 cords stable manure per
acre, or one ton of ground bone, % ton muriate of potash,
N and 400 lbs. nitrate of soda, to be thoroughly worked into
the soil.
In field culture, they should be worked once a week with
T cultivator, and gone over by hand once in two weeks; care
should be taken after runners start, to work cultivator al-
ways the same way, to prevent breaking runners.
They should be mulched in fall after ground is frozen, to protect from thawing and freez-
ing during the winter, and part of the mulch should remain during the fruiting season.
Any good corn land will raise strawberries, if properly fertilized.
For garden culture, set plants one foot apart in the row, and the rows two feet apart;
keep the runners cut off and otherwise carry out the instructions given. above.

THE BELMONT istheleading strawberry. It has proved a successful berry in all kinds
of soil, and in all climates where strawberries are grown. Plants were sold and sent to all’
parts of the United States, and the testimonials to date show the results to be most favorable
in all quarters. It may not be quite as productive as some other varieties, but the keeping
quality with the general excellence of the fruit make it one of the most valuable, especially
for home use.

IMPERVIOUS OIL- Nt id Best in the World.
These cuts represent our Impervious Oil-
cans for family use. They are made of wood,
joints tongued and grooved, and covered with
a paper strip inside, all being thoroughly
f coated with patent composition, thus adding
greatly to their strength, and rendering them
perfectly impervious to kerosene, carbon, or
fother oils. They are fitted with our new
4 nickel-plated compression faucet, and vented
jfillers. Experience has fully proved that
: = these cans are the only packages fitted to
stand handling and transportation; and from the peculiar character of the lining, they are
absolutely free from all sweat and odor of oil, rendering them the strongest, cleanest, and safest
family oil-can ever offered for use. The constantly increasing demand has proved beyond doubt
that these oil-cans have no rival in point of safety, durability, and cleanliness.

THE CHALLENGE
STEP LADDER.
In the present construction of this ladder,
the step-supports do not pass through the
steps, as formerly, but are inserted into
grooves cut in the edges of the steps; and
all the parts are locked and fastened by a bolt
passing through the hole in such a manner as
to secure great strength and firmness, at the
same time giving it a very finished mechanical
appearance. We have also very much im-
proved the back standard by such a combi-
nation of braces as to render the breaking of
any part almost an impossibility, and to cause
the ladder to stand much more steadily. z

POULTRY SUPPLIES.
Special Prices to the Trade. We are the New England Agents for HAVENS’
CONDITION POWDERS and RUST’S EGG PRODUCER.
SN Will make your hens lay in winter! This prepara.
ic tion supplies those chemical substances which, when
fa assimilated by fowls, produce eggs and development
™@ exactly as certain foods produce milk in cows, or fertili-
zers increase crops. It contains, in addition, valuable
tonics and remedial agents, which ensure perfect as-
similation and robust health, without which the best
results cannot be obtained. It makes tardy pullets
prompt to lay, increases egg production at all seasons,
shortens the moulting period, and fits fowls for market
early. It is equally valuable for Turkeys, Ducks,
Geese, and Hens. In short, it is just what is needed
to make egg-producing and fowl-raising one of the most
profitable of pursuits. It can be fed every day at a cost
of from one-third of a cent to two-thirds of a cent
a week for each fowl, according to the size purchased.
Although moderate in price, it is not too cheap to be the,
best *‘ Egg Food” in existence. (
